Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit your Forester and are compatible with the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket item # C18115-117. These mount directly to the side rails of your 2020 Forester and have more than enough capacity for the Curt Cargo Basket. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA137B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see what this crossbars look like.
